Oh No You Didn't: Mercs 2 Song Plays as Skins Hold Off Eagles
Oh No You Didn't: Mercs 2 Song Plays as Skins Hold Off Eagles
December 22, 2008
Sunday was a tough day for Eagles fans (like yours truly).
The Washington Redskins stymied the Eagles' offense all day long and led 10-3 late in the fourth quarter. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, Eagles receiver Reggie Brown was stuffed at the goal line by a pair of Washington defenders.
And what song was blaring over the public address system at Washington's Fedex Field?
Oh No You Didn't.
The Wojahn Brothers tune is the theme for EA's hit Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.
Cinema Blend, which picked up on the use of the Mercs 2 song, reports:
It's a tough song to describe; essentially it's a rap with piano accompaniment and a choir-style chorus. Somehow, all of these strange elements come together into a catchy masterpiece... it's pretty awesome that a song created for a video game's gotten this sort of mainstream attention.

Valdearg: @DS: Im sure that's what they'd do if it wasn't legal to just tell Gays/TG's to "Screw off," just because they're who they are.

DarkSaber: Whoever told him/her/it that is dumb. They should have done like most companies and made-up some bullshit, yet legal, reason for it not getting the job.

Andrew Eisen: Shouldn't be. Spirit of anti-discrimination laws would seem to include sexual orientation (and eye color). Plus there's always equal protection and such. Never know until you try.

Valdearg: Story about a Male to Female TG who was expressly told she wouldn't be given a job because she was TG. Its not the main point of the story, but explicit, perfectly legal discrimination like this exists.

Valdearg: Lol, I don't know. It may very well be legal to do so. Though that might able to fall under the "race" restriction, depending on how that point is argued.

Valdearg: I don't think they do have any legal recourse. I'll have to dig around, but I seriously believe that if the law doesn't specifically mention Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity, they can still be discriminated against in those 29 states.

At least the Saints whipped the Lions yesterday 42-7, knocking Detroit to 0-15.
Now the Eagles have to beat Dallas next week and have Tampa Bay lose to Oakland to make the playoffs.
Geaux Saints, Geaux Tigers, Geaux Hornets, Jack Thompson can geaux chase a chupacabra.
They also played it at the Linc during the Pittsburgh game. They made a big stop and then it came on. I laughed my ass off.
I've heard it a couple of times at the end of games (can't remember which) when it's close and the home team pulls out a win.
Great song!
That song cracks me up, suspect it'll be on stadium playlist for moments like those for a long time to come, or untill the general fanbase finds out its from them damn violent video games! nah... its too catchy. :P

Nah, a violent game wouldn't upset the Football crowd. Now if there was even a hint of nudity in it, then everyone would be up in arms. Superbowl 38 anyone?

Full O' Win.
So I DID hear that song!
I'm a big Giants fan myself but even I felt the "ouch" of that one play (the one where the Eagles caught the ball and just missed the goal line).
Ah, if only I took an interest in American Football. Or sport in general.
